No, it does not.

I know, I know I should upgrade to 10.3, but our I.T section are a bunch of $@£*%! and are not letting us upgrade until they receive training in OSX ( not that they have ever done anything for us) anyway thats a whole new topic!

My condolences; I had to go and buy a new mouse myself, and when asking the IT for the refund, they started complaining why did I buy a Microsoft wireless, when there are perfectly good plastic Chinese mice around ... duh.

no sign yet . . .

i am told that the final release of 8.1 was the same build as the beta-test RC5, so if you have that there will be no difference when they do arrive . . .

It is the same build; however, the package is slightly different (I have both ...)

I spoke to my vendor today. It has been delayed apparently as some last minute bug was discovered (hope we are not going down that road again!).

Should arrive by the end of the month.

No we haven't got our copies yet.

I had a phone call from my vendor on Fri afternoon to let me know that my 8.1 is in the mail.

I thought I would never say this, but, "Roll on Monday!"

I got mine on Friday.
Thanks to chris crawford at forth computers for getting it out so quick, so far i am fairly impressed, looks like a solid upgrade.

Hard to tall so far but I think it is a bit snappier, I'll wait till the polygon count rises.....

All i need now is that G5.

Sorry forgot to mention,- if you didnt know already -that the archiforma and archiruler for version 8.0 doesnt work with the new 8.1

We will have to wait for a free download from Cigraph
